CHMA Needs Your Help!

We are CHMA 106.9 FM, a 50-watt, non-commercial, not-for-profit
community radio station located on the campus of Mount Allison
University in Sackville, New Brunswick

As one of the nation’s smallest campus-community radio stations, we’ve
always been able to do a lot with very little. Over the past 40 years,
we’ve built a great station, thanks to our tiny but trusty transmitter,
our ever-evolving core of talented and loyal programmers and volunteers,
and our sheer love of radio.

CHMA means a great deal to a great many people: the programmers who speak to
both the university and Sackville communities; musicians, both local and
distant, who rely on our airplay, support, and enthusiasm; and listeners, both
near and far. Then there’s our alumni: the station has provided the training
ground to dozens of broadcasters, journalists, and technicians who work in the
medium across the land.

The world of radio is changing, and much of our equipment—stuff that’s been
through decades of use and overuse—is simply wearing out. For the first time,
CHMA is running a deficit, and without additional funds, we won’t be able to
continue in the same way.

We want to be able to offer the same great programming experiences and open
door that we’ve always had. In fact, we want to do more, to increase and
strengthen our award-winning current affairs and news programming in the year
ahead. We also want to embrace the brave new digital world, through apps and an
online presence that will allow our signal, our voice, to reach beyond the
marshes to a wider world.

But this isn’t possible without raising some money. And that’s where you come
in. We’re asking friends, fans, and alumni of CHMA to dig deep and chip in to
help us replace old analog equipment while simultaneously moving into a digital
world. This will assure that our current programmers and the next generations
of Allisonians and Sackvillians can continue to enjoy the magic of community
radio.

Our goal is daunting but attainable: $11 000. We chose the number to honour the
11th edition of Stereophonic, our annual music festival. We’ve got some great
incentives to get us there. Please tune in, share, and above all—give. Help
keep The Voice of the Marshes loud and clear.

Online radio stream 24/7.

Stereophonic is an annual music festival organized by the staff and
volunteers of CHMA 106.9 FM, a 50-watt campus-community radio station
serving Mount Allison University and the Greater Tantramar Region.
Now in its eleventh year, the festival, held in the small town of
Sackville, New Brunswick, is dedicated to promoting local talent and
volunteerism on all levels. It celebrates the hospitality of our
community, the importance of campus/community radio, and the vitality of
independent music.
Dubbed one of the “best alternative music festivals” by indie rock hero
Brent Randall and “like Sappy(fest) only less commercial” by banjo
legend Old Man Luedecke, Stereophonic is New Brunswick’s longest running
independent music festival. Here are some videos of past Stereophonics.

Boardwalk Radio is a daily community news and events show aired on CHMA
106.9 FM, Sackville New Brunswick. Boardwalk is a Monday-Friday noon
hour show.

Radio Girls Rock Camp is a free music camp for girls in Sackville,
New Brunswick. The first ever Radio Girls Rock Camp was held after
school, from January 13th -18th, 2014 in Mount Allison
University’s Hammond Studio.

At Radio Girls Rock Camp our aim is
to inspire creativity, teamwork, critical thinking and self-esteem
through music. Positive female role models made up local artists and musicians will lead music lessons, skill sharing activities and confidence building workshops.

The rock camp concluded with the
attendees participating in a final live music showcase on January 18th
at the Vogue Cinema in conjunction with CHMA’s winter fundraiser,
Stereophonic.

I'd love to tell you what we do at these parties but what happens at a CHMA VIP PARTY stays there. Mostly it's just good tunes, good food, and good people doing things that are totally legal. A great way to become famous is to see what other famous people do and the CHMA VIP PARTY is one of the best opportunities to see famous people doing things.
